Slippery Slopes redux

Remember Bloomfield's snow capped mountains from last winter?They're part of a Liongate development tract that has been" frozen" in its tracks for over 5 years.The partially remediated remains of the rubble that was once Scientific Glass was finally forced to cover up by the NJ DEP. The apparent intent was to protect the public from exposure to contaminants they found in the soil early in 2005.The 6 mil polyethelyne makeshift cover appeared to be a collection of oversized garbage bags. The top photo was taken on "wrap day" during the first week in June. The middle photo was taken 3 days later. The bottom photo on July 16th. Maybe they should have hired Christo.
